Chassis

The suspension of the Mazda MX-5 NC (2005–2015) absorbs road irregularities and controls the movement of the body. Springs support the weight, and shock absorbers dampen the compression and rebound, while the suspension guides the wheels along their path of movement. With coilover kits, stabilizer bar components, and wheel spacers, various characteristics of this system can be adjusted. Thus, ride height, wheel position, and body movement are interrelated with components that each fulfill their own specific function.
